The ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3B Weekly Gridded Atmosphere (ATL16) and ATLAS/ICESat-2 L3B Monthly Gridded Atmosphere (ATL17) data sets from the Ice, Cloud, and land Elevation Satellite-2 (ICESat-2) mission have been updated to Version 4 at the NASA National Snow and Ice Data Center Distributed Active Archive Center (NSIDC DAAC).
These data sets provide a gridded summary of weekly (ATL16) or monthly (ATL17) global cloud fraction, total column optical depth over the oceans, polar cloud fraction, blowing snow frequency, apparent surface reflectivity, and ground detection frequency. Temporal coverage spans from 13 October 2018 to present. Details about these data set versions are available under the Version Summary on the data set’s data set landing page, and in the Version History (Section 2.5) of the User Guide.
